They ran only 9 plays for seven yards in the first quarter,
and guess what? Priest Holmes only touched the ball twice
in those first three series. The Rams Isaac Bruce then
embarrassed Chiefs cornerback Eric Warfield for an easy
TD. The Rams were right back in the game at 14-10.

The momentum had swung back to the Rams.

Chiefs fans were screaming get Priest the
ball. Finally, on the first possession of the second
quarter offensive coordinator Al Saunders figured it out.

****

It went like this.

-Priest to the left side for eight yards.

-Holmes then lost two yards on a pitch to the right.

-Priest up the middle on a draw for 16 yards.

-Priest Holmes around the right corner for 17 yards.

-After an incompletion and a penalty, QB Trent Green
faked to Holmes, and then hit WR Eddie Kennison for 29
yards to the two-yard line of the Rams.

-Two plays later, the leagues leading scorer, the
leagues leading rusher, and the leagues leading
all purpose yardage back hauled it in for the score. Holmes
used 6 carries to gain 42 yards and a TD on that drive.
Momentum back to the red and gold. Holmes is now involved
in the contest.

Chiefs 21 Rams 10. Game over.

Take A Memo:

Can we gat one of those electronic dog collars
and put in on Al Saunders? The next time he blows off
Holmes for another quarter, perhaps give him a little
shock?

Dante Hall may have just booked his trip to Hawaii
with his last two weeks performances. A 90-yard
punt return for a TD last week. An 88-yard kick-off return
and an 86-yard punt return for 2 TDs this week.

Marc Boerigter now has 13 catches for the season.
Six are for TDs.

John Browning is the main reason the Chiefs defense
has stepped it up the last two games. Its nice to
have a defensive lineman that can dominate at times.

The Chiefs have now outscored their last two NFC
West opponents 98-10.

The Chiefs probably wont have another blowout
victory like the last two, but if you ever get bored,
just watch the Chiefs offensive line. They are dominating
like no other Ive ever seen.

Chiefs kicker Morton Anderson hasnt attempted
a FG in the last two games.

Okay, the Chiefs are the longest of long shots
to make it in as the last wild card, but we will continue
to track the numbers.

Wild card picture

Miami 7-5 (Monday night game against Chicago with a loss
to KC)
San Diego 8-5 (with a win over KC)
Indianapolis 8-5


